Taking advantage of the break when the medical officers were preparing medicine for the envoy, Sonam Pai left the Daqin Medical Center, and then started touring the Afang Palace accompanied by two Afang Palace guards.
After leaving the palace where the Daqin Medical Clinic is located, Sonam Pai and his party walked along the straight imperial road to the depths of the Epang Palace. The further they walked deeper into the Epang Palace, the more magnificent the palace became.
At the same time, the visual impact of Afang Palace on Sonam Pai and her group became more and more intense. Different from the tranquility and elegance of the palace complex where Daqin Medical Center is located, the palace deep in Afang Palace has changed.
A style that is no longer as subtle as the palace where Da Qin Medical Clinic is located, but begins to reveal the majesty of Da Qin everywhere.
After bypassing several unique palaces, Sonam Pai suddenly saw more than a dozen huge and magnificent palaces in front of her eyes. Seeing such a scene, Sonam Pai and her party stopped involuntarily, and everyone
Everyone stopped and looked at the distance with glaring eyes. In the distance, they saw a tall palace complex composed of more than ten connected palaces. The tall palaces stood on huge high platforms. The most amazing thing is that these high platforms turned out to be
It was built up layer by layer, and each platform was two feet high. What shocked Sonam Pai was that the highest platform was nine stories high, and even the lowest platform was
There are also three floors.
A palace in the center of this group of palaces is built on a nine-story high platform. The huge palace is surrounded by tigers and dragons, with carved beams and painted buildings. It actually has a commanding and majestic feeling that overwhelms the entire Epang Palace. In this nine-story palace,
On the left and right of the palace on the high platform, nine towering attics were built around it. These attics were connected to the palace in the center by suspended corridor bridges, forming a layout of stars over the moon, which is ingenious.
Not only Sonam Pai, but also the envoys of the Peacock Kingdom who accompanied Sonam Pai. They were all shocked by the ingenious palace complex in front of them, and they looked at it in surprise but a little dull.
The palace.
After a while, these people gradually recovered from the shock and began to communicate in low voices uncontrollably. Unsurprisingly, the topic they exchanged should be related to the magnificent palace in front of them. They might be in it.
They admired the greatness of the people who built this palace, or compared a certain building in their home country with the palace in front of them. Different from the shock of everyone, Sonam Pai actually showed something special despite the shock.
Such thoughts.
During the rest of the tour, these envoys from the Maurya Kingdom seemed to have become accustomed to the impact of Afang Palace on them, and it was obvious that they were much less surprised.
Two hours later, Sonam Pai and her party ended their visit to Afang Palace in extreme exhaustion, and then embarked on the return journey to Daqin Medical Center with the setting sun near the mountains.
Although two hours were enough for Sonam Pai and her party to have a good tour of Afang Palace, because Afang Palace was too huge, even Sonam Pai and her party were exhausted.
, they also only visited one-fifth of the Epang Palace. As for the scale of the Epang Palace, Du Mu of the later Tang Dynasty described the Epang Palace in "Ode to Epang Palace": "It covers more than three hundred miles and is isolated from the sky.
"This Du Mu has seen the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that he has a certain vision of the palace. Even such a man of vision is slowly yearning for Afang Palace. Although Du Mu wrote poems in Afang Palace
There is a suspicion of exaggerating the Epang Palace, but after discarding two-thirds of the exaggeration, the scale of the Epang Palace is over a hundred miles.
With the regret of not being able to see all the magnificent scenery of Afang Palace, Sonam Pai and her party returned to Daqin Medical Center with great reluctance. Coincidentally, at this time, the apprentices who had gone to grab medicine and boil medicine happened to be there too.
When I came back, I saw these apprentices carrying the medicinal soup they had carefully prepared for the envoys of the Peacock Kingdom into the lobby where the patients rested.
When these young apprentices brought the medicinal soup to the patient, Sonam Pai couldn't help her curiosity again. She gently took the medicine from the young apprentice's hands and looked at it carefully.
After a while, she deliberately went to the medicine bowl and smelled it. Because of her embarrassing experience when she first saw acupuncture in the morning, Sonam Pai had no objection to the bitter medicinal soup in the pottery bowl.
He did not dare to say anything more, but carefully handed the pottery bowl containing the medicinal soup back to the hands of the young apprentice, and then curiously watched the process of the sick minister taking the medicine.
Although these sick envoys were very afraid of the medicine given to them by the young apprentice, with the full cooperation of the medical officer and the translator, these sick envoys could only endure the bitterness and nausea and poured the medicine into the pottery bowl.
He took the medicinal soup. Of course, the ferocious expressions shown by these envoys when they took the medicine shocked Sonam Pai and others.
After dealing with the matter of visiting the fainting envoy, it was already the time when thousands of houses were lit with lights. A full moon rose in the distance. Sonam and her party left Afang Palace under the hazy moonlight. At this time, the entire Xianyang City was silent.
In the flickering lights, looking from a distance, Xianyang City in the lights is like a misty heavenly palace, and the lights of thousands of houses are the stars decorating the heavenly palace. At this time, there is still an hour and a half before the curfew, even Sonam
·No matter how slowly Pai Yi walks, he can still get back to the hotel before the curfew.
Sonam Pai looked up at the bright full moon and asked softly to a follower named Banga beside her: "Bangya, do you think my father can see this bright moon?"
"Sir, I can't say anything about this. I should be able to!" Banga replied ambiguously. Although everyone in the Peacock Kingdom mission knew that Sonam Pai was their little princess, Sonam at this time
·Pai looked like a man, not to mention that they were accompanied by Daqin guards at this time, so when Banga called Sonam Pai, he followed the local custom and called Sonam Pai his son.
In the Qin Dynasty, only the children of the emperor and princes were qualified to be called sons. There was no formal title for the sons of ordinary people. They were just abbreviations such as Dalang and Erlang for distinction. Even Liu Bang, the prefect of Dang County at this time,
Before I met Zhang Liang, he didn't have a formal name. He used the abbreviated name Liu Ji, which his father used to distinguish the order of several children. Liu Ji, in layman's terms, means the fourth son of the Liu family, brother and uncle.
Ji, the character Ji ranks at the end.
According to the etiquette system of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is indeed suspected that ordinary people use the title of "gongzi" against the rules. If the accompanying guards hear ordinary people calling them such names, they will inevitably scold them. But Sonam Pai and others in front of them are foreigners after all.
, do not accept the teachings of Da Qin, and these people use their native language when talking, how can the guards understand them.
After wandering all the way for an hour, Sonam Pai and her party arrived at the hotel where they were staying. After a simple dinner, Sonam Pai returned to her room with a heavy heart.
After sitting there for a while, he spread out the bedding on the floor and lay down with a heavy heart.
Sonam Pai did not sleep well that night. All kinds of thoughts were tumbling in her mind all night. It was almost dawn when Sonam Pai fell asleep with difficulty.
So the insomnia started when she went to the Daqin Medical Center to visit those compatriots who had fainted.
Early the next morning, Sonam Pai got up early, and then told Banja and others about a major decision she made after a sleepless night.
When Sonam Pai revealed her decision, she immediately frightened Banga and others.
